- Museum Trip by Barbara Lehman (Ages: 3-5)
- Franklin's Class Trip by Paulette Bourgeois (Ages: 3-5)

MAP Family Saturdays at the Library
Taking your young child to a museum or gallery may seem like a daunting experience, but some offer interactive spaces especially for young children. If you would like to give your child a taste of that experience but aren't sure if they're ready, keep your eye out for MAP Family Saturdays at the library. These wonderful and free programs at the library give kids a peak at some of the treasures they'll encounter on a visit to a museum or gallery. Some will also have hands-on activities for the kids!
